reservaBle CampsItes

All state park, recreation area and forest campgrounds incorporate a self-registration procedure. Instructions are posted at depositories located at campground entrances. Campers must register within one-half hour of entering the campground. Walk-in campers may occupy an unrented reservable campsite beginning at 10:00 a.m. and may register on a night-to-night basis only. This is due to the rolling reservation window for reservable campsites. Walk-in campers should check the arrival roster daily at the kiosk or check-in station for reservable campsite availability.

Chaperoned organIzed youth group CampsItes

Most parks have a designated “chaperoned organized youth group campsite(s)” which is available for use by chaperoned organized youth groups only.

There is no two-night minimum stay required for these campsites.

Campsite capacity varies from park to park and site to site. It is recommended that you contact the park office if you have any questions about campsite amenities available and any restrictions regarding the number of tents allowed.
